I just called my local nursery for aconitums and they apparently have this
one -- claiming it has sulphur yellow flowers.  I can't say I've heard of
this one before.  How about you?









 My guess is that it might the same plant as those sold under the name A.
pyrenaicum:

It looks like A. lamarkii is just like A. vulparia except that it has deeper
divide leaves and a more upright habit.
Said to be a better garden plant too.
Plants grow 4.5 to five feet tall, produce a numerous flowered inflorescence
with brighter yellow flowers than A. vulparia.

Native from the western Alps and the Pyrenees.
Zones 5-8.

Sounds like a nice plant.

But them I have a soft spot for all Monkshoods.
